We've packed 8 diverse activities into your one-month itinerary, so you can experience the most out of your destination. All booked and included.
This is how we typically start our chapter, getting to know each other over a group dining experience at an exceptional location that celebrates the local gastronomy.
Think an intimate Omakase in Tokyo, or dine at Diaca with Chef Debora Fadul- Guatemala's most celebrated culinary pioneer.
Escape the city and experience the natural wonders around your destination.
What about a Comporta horse ride on Europe's longest beach, scaling Rio's Pedra da Gávea- world's largest seaside rock, or surf in Bali's secret spots with local legend Betet Merta.
Our local creators will take you for a tour of your destination's cultural highlights.
What about immersing in Carnaval month in Rio, going to an Afrobeats show in with rapper Jul Javii, or joining a workshop on Arab-inspired jewelry with designer Nadine Kanso.
We'll keep you fit throughout your chapter and introduce you to uniquely local sports.
Try cricket in Mumbai, join a sunset altinha session in Rio's world famous Ipanema beach, or join a local tennis coaching nearby the complex of Paris' Roland Garros.
We'll take you around to see the city through the eyes of our creators and glimpse at some of the best neighbourhoods in town.
Together, we'll visit unmissable touristy attractions and discover hidden spots loved by locals- with hosts like the Lisbon Crooks, who'll show us the city from the surfing community's perspective.
One of our missions at Sabbatical is to unleash your potential- whether it's helping you discover a new business idea or getting new creative juice in.
We'll meet local entrepreneurs building innovative projects like Nathan's Urban Farm, or attend network sessions led by one of our creators Amah Ayivi in Soho House Paris.
No chapter is complete without exploring your destination's surroundings. We've included the best day-trips that you can't miss.
How about witnessing the world's largest wave in Nazaré, escaping Dubai's fast-pace to the more relaxed Abu Dhabi, or hopping between national parks around Nairobi for the day.
Your sabbatical can be the most relaxed, or intense month of your life- it's totally up to you how you'll spend it. Regardless, we'll get you recharged in the middle of the month with the most locally-unique wellness option.
Think swimming in one of Madeira's natural pools, getting a traditional Balinese massage, relaxing over a beachside yoga session in Lisbon's Caparica coast, or stepping into a luxury Roman bath in Milan and Rome.
Role
No research. No planning. No nothing. Sabbatical takes all that hassle away from living abroad, so you can focus on having the best experience.
Arrive in style. From airport, to move-in.

Stay comfortably for a month
Finding mid-long term housing is hard, imagine doing it abroad- in a city you're not familiar with. By selecting a chapter, we'll book you a comfortable accommodation for the month (that you can extend up to 6 months). We do this through our global partners of verified property management companies in each destination.
Choose between a co-living space or a private apartment in the most charming neighbourhoods.
Get all your essentials from day 1
On your arrival day, you will receive a complimentary Essentials kit which includes a sim-card with a monthly internet plan, metro-pass that covers your first few-days of travel, locally-sourced snacks and epiceries, as well as limited-edition merchandise from Hyperlocal Collectibles. You're literally set and ready to explore from day 1- even if you didn't bring anything.

Bring your job, get inspired, stay productive
Included in your chapter, is a month-pass to an inspiring co-working space- provided by one of our selected partners. Our team will select the most reliable working space for you, easily-accessible from your accommodation.
But everything starts from your room. All housing already comes with a reliable wifi, ideally set-up for remote working. Additionally, our team will happily suggest you the best cafes to work from.
Immerse, learn, play, recharge
Each sabbatical comes with a series of local experiences, covering a wide array of topics- from gastronomy and entrepreneurship, to arts and wellness. The activities are already included in the price. You can choose to join them at no additional cost, or skip them anytime. Most activities are pre-scheduled, and some come with open dates.
Together with our creators, we've carefully curated and handpicked the best activities so that you can get the most out of your destination and fully immerse like a local. Closer to your arrival date, we'll hand you schedule for the entire month.
Additionally, you can purchase add-on experiences such as special trips and excursions.
Do what you love, without the planning
Although we recommend you to join all the included activities, participation is always optional. You'll get to spend your free-time however you want to. Based on your profile and preferences, we will give each participant bespoke recommendations on what to do in the city.
Additionally, you can purchase add-on experiences such as day-trips and excursions from our trusted partners- anytime during the month. If you need more recommendations or help with making other arrangements, please contact our 24/7 concierge.
Tailored tips + 24/7 customer service
Ask our team anything, and literally anytime. Long gone are the days where you have to research for reliable local information in a foreign language. Our 24/7 concierge is ready to assist you. Just one WhatsApp away.
Meet interesting local communities
You're never alone in your destination. We will connect you with the communities you'll love- so you can easily meet locals and other like-minded people in the city. Running groups? Tech hubs? Creative industries? We'll help you immerse into the local scenes of your interests and develop meaningful connections- rather with locals, than foreigners.
Join our global community who takes on a Sabbatical to live epic and reinvent themselves
Come across global topics beyond the typical touristy attractions. Imagine Rome's art scene, or Indonesia's agriculture.
Realize your wildest imagination- step into another man's shoes. Meet an Italian auto craftsman or a Japanese pizza master.
Why not try a new destination, before making a big move. Experience living the fast-futuristic pace of Dubai, or try Rio's super laidback lifestyle.
While tourism can give you a taste of a place, a Sabbatical lets you immerse in the day-to-day lives of a local. Become a Lisboeta or a Carioca for a month.
Witness the world and find life-changing inspirations. Nick Woodman founded GoPro during a sabbatical, what's yours going to be?
See the world deeper. Create meaningful relationships with the locals, gain awareness of their issues, and become globally conscious.
Connect with like-minded communities and get purposeful in your sabbatical. What about learning cricket in India, or dive into the music culture in Kenya.
Join a one-of-a-kind adventure, and build an epic life story. Get lost in gigantic São Paulo, or dance the month away during the Carnaval in Rio.
Ask yourself, how can you give back to your destination? By traveling slower and longer, you are promoting a more sustainable way to travel.
